AFFECTS REGISTRATION
New petitions policy
By Kevin Polk
Staff Writer
The university Academic Standards Commission released a report Thursday outlining petitions policies and announcing several changes in those policies which will affect students registering for the fall 1981 semester.
The highlights of the changes include the following:
The final deadline for enrolling in any course will be the third week of a given semester. In the past, students could register or add classes through the 12th week of the semester. Students will not be allowed to register after the third week and can petition to add classes after that time only under special circumstances.
Courses dropped before the end of the third week will not appear on a student's academic record. Classes dropped from the fourth to the twelfth weeks of the semester will appear on a student's academic records with a mark of “W.” The end of the twelfth week will be the deadline for dropping classes. Students who wish to drop after this deadline must petition to do so.
Before these new guidelines were established a student could drop a class until the ninth week of the semester without any indication of enrollment in the class going on his or her permanent record. Students only get “W’s” if they drop between the tenth and twelfth weeks and cannot drop after that time.
Students who wish to take one or more courses at another school while remaining enrolled at this university no longer have to petition for dual registration. Instead, they can fill out a request form.
Gary Connor, supervisor of the Petitions Department, spoke about the changes in the petitions policy.

‘New Right’ poses great threat to women
ex-party chairman says at symposium

“The picture is very bleak for human rights in this country, and I think we’ve taken a giant step backwards for women,” said Mary Crisp, former cochairman of the Republican Party, in an ERA symposium held on campus Thursday afternoon.
“When the American people went to the polls and gave a resounding rejection to President Carter, they wanted a dramatic economic change and a foreign policy that was coherent, but the American people did not vote against the Equal Rights Amendment or for a constitutional ammendment banning abortion,” she said.
Crisp explained that the New Right, an alliance composed of antiwomen’s rights groups, the political right and religious
fundamentalists, wants to legislate their morality on the rest on the nation. “I call this moral imperialism, and it absolutely terrifies me,” she said.
Using massive funding, sophisticated technology and young leadership, the New Right has infiltrated the Republican Party, Crisp said. When the New Right spoiled her bid for reelection in July of 1980, they were able to gain control of the party, she said.
They decided to take over the GOP after an unsuccessful attempt to gain the alliance they needed to form another party during the Watergate years, she said. Crisp added that the New Right gained momentum during the 1976 Republican Convention when Gerald Ford was almost defeated by Ronald Reagan.

Crisp added that a Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan once told her that he could not have drafted a better platform than the one the Republican Party drafted last summer at their convention.
“That platform does not represent the mainstream of the Republican Party,” she said. The party, which was the first to have the Equal Rights Amendment as part of its plan, chose to abandon it after 40 years of commitment. Crisp said.
She was also disturbed that her party had asked for a constitutional amendment banning

Members of the university presidential inauguration committee met Thursday afternoon to discuss the positive aspects of the past week’s events and the possible changes that could be made for future events of this kind.
Most of the committee members agreed that the inauguration was a success overall.
“As I look back over the whole thing, I think it was a resounding success,” said Leonard Wines, a committee member and associate vice-president of University Affairs.
But there were some criticisms of certain areas of the events.
One of the criticisms the committee had was a general lack of student attendence at **’» ents, particularly at Sunday’s inauguration n-emony.
but Wines thought this was expected. “I just
don’t think it was a student event. I never expected them to be there, so I was not disappointed that so few were,” he said.
The reason only a few students attended was due to the scheduling of the program on a Sunday and also that it fell on Mother's Day, the committee members concluded.
On the other hand, nearly 600 members of the faculty were on hand for the inauguration, according to Terry Ziegler, a member of the inauguration staff. Many committee members could not recall a time when so many faculty members were present at a single event.
The committee members also felt that an event like this in the future would be better if held in the early fall rather than late in the year.
One possible cause of the low student turnout may be the fact that at this time of the year many students are involved in writing term papers, (Continued on page 8)

The university spent approximately $200,000 on inauguration activities last week, said Jerome B. Walker, director of Research and Program Coordination. The office is primarily responsible, for the actual inauguration ceremony and related events.
“We were primarily interested in the university community’s involvement and the kind of reassessment of what we are and what we’re capable of,” Walker said.
"Through the balance of the inaugural weekend events, we attempted to address ourselves to faculty, staff and students. We had some very nice student events, such as the Student Showcase and the Student Honors Colloquium.
“We had hoped that the people who participated in those (events) would also be interested in participating in an inauguration. Ceremonies are often not terribly popular with undergraduates, and many avoid their own commencements," Walker said.
The director said a special effort was made to address an invitation to every student in university residences. Students also received a letter from James Appleton, vice-president of Student Affairs, urging them to participate.
“We wanted a sense of balance and program, of magnitude, the numbers of people involved and of costs,” Walker said.
